Ask an expert advisor

These days, you're far more likely to have photos stored on your computer than have negatives hidden in a box or printouts to hold onto your memories forever. Picture Keeper makes it easy to back up the images on your computer so you'll have a second copy of all your irreplaceable family photos.

The Picture Keeper is extremely easy to use, too. Plug it into a USB port on your computer and with one click, it searches for photo files and creates a backup copy. After you've added more pictures to your computer, connect the Picture Keeper again and it'll back up just the new photos without creating duplicates of your older photos. This is a great way to preserve memories for years to come.

I will totally order from you all again!!!!! Thank you for keeping your prices low, shipping on time and great customer service!!

dissapointed

Dissapointed -it says can be used on multiple computers, but what it doesnt say is that it starts over and counts all the pics on the new computer, even the duplicates. So best to stay with one computer.

Pros:seems to work

Cons:counts the duplicates on the other computer as new. Small and wont hold many high pics taken
with higher better MB cameras

Picture Keeper 16G

I purchased the picture keeper and to my disappointment it didn't work. I called Crutchfield and the rep said they would send me a replacement; which they did; the second one seems to be working just fine. I am pleased with it and would recommend anyone getting the product. I would suggest (I also purchased an 8 gig) to spend the extra and get the bigger picture keeper.

Good concept!

Written By CatherineM, Charlottesville VA on Friday, August 26, 2011

I used Picture Keeper on 2 Mac computers. It stores pictures from files perfectly and as far as I can tell, it does not duplicate photos. Which is the design of the product! I wondered if if would collect video and iPhoto's. I did! The only challenge was it did not keep the files I created in iPhoto, it categorized the pictures by date imported. That makes it difficult to search for the photos I want to pull. Assuming Picture Keeper stores photos by "name" just don't change names. I have an older camera (Megapixels 8) and the 4GB stored approximately 2300 photos. Over all, a good product!

Thumbs up for this thumb drive

The Picture Keeper is more than just another thumb drive, as I soon discovered. Its software is specifically designed for photo backup, and it performs that task well.

All I had to do was plug the Picture Keeper into my computer's USB port, then opened up drive's window. I selected "Start Backup" and the Picture Keeper copied as many of my photos (and their folders) as it could hold.

This is a great solution if you don't have a lot of hi-rez images on your computer. Transfer is fast. When its done, you can run slideshows from the Picture Keeper, or plug it into another computer and copy your photos.
